Reign in Blood is the third studio album and the major-label debut by Slayer. It was released on October 7, 1986, by Def Jam Recordings. The album was the band’s first collaboration with record producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band’s sound evolve. Reign in Blood was well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Kerrang! magazine described the record as the heaviest album of all

From the press: SLAYER - REIGN IN BLOOD Reign in Blood is what it is considered to be Slayer's master creation, and also the best thrash album of all times. Reign in Blood was an album way advanced for the time it came out. It was geniously composed, and purposely blasphemous. Angel of Death is probably the most famous song by them, a metal anthem for metal heads. Slayer's lyrics have always been blasphemous and diabolic - and gory too, but in Angel of Death's lyrics we can see some very geniously written lyrics - Angel of Death's lyrics talking about Auschwitz, the infamous concentration camp where Jewish people were killed and worked. This song is sooooo good!

Widely considered the pinnacle of speed metal, Reign in Blood is Slayer's undisputed masterpiece, a brief (under half an hour) but relentless onslaught that instantly obliterates anything in its path and clears out just as quickly. Producer Rick Rubin gives the band a clear, punchy sound for the first time in its career, and they largely discard the extended pieces of Hell Awaits in favor of lean assaults somewhat reminiscent of hardcore punk (though distinctly metallic and much more technically demanding)

Slayer’s Reign In Blood, released October 7th, 1986, lands smack in the middle of that decade like an axe hitting a bullseye. No other metal release that year or during that era felt quite as demanding and insurgent. It hit fast - clocking in under less than a half-hour in its original release - and hit hard, helping push a band that was already respected among their fans and peers toward new levels of success. Everything else in this meaty middle section of the album oozed with its titular crimson. And it put the rest of the metal world on notice: the whole scene was going to be different from here on out. Or as future Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph recalled to Decibel magazine about hearing Reign In Blood for the first time coming from Forbidden guitarist Craig Locicero’s boombox, I stood in front of that box for the entire 20-some-odd minutes. I remember looking at Craig and going, ‘We’re fucked.
